Hadith 2.2

Game and Animals Which May Be Slaughtered

ENGLISH

Abuz Zubair quoted Jabir’s authority for the statement that God's messenger said, "What the sea throws up and is left by the tide you may eat, but what dies in the sea and floats you must not eat." Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah transmitted it, but Muhyi as-Sunna said most people hold that it goes no farther back than Jabir.

ARABIC

وَعَن أبي الزُّبيرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسلم: «مَا ألقاهُ البحرُ وجزر عَنْهُ الْمَاءُ فَكُلُوهُ وَمَا مَاتَ فِيهِ وَطَفَا فَلَا تَأْكُلُوهُ» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَابْنُ مَاجَهْ وَقَالَ مُحْيِي السُّنَّةِ: الْأَكْثَرُونَ عَلَى أَنَّهُ مَوْقُوفٌ على جَابر
